The Groups

quote

His Royal Highness was most interested to learn more about the people of Llangollen through these very evocative photographic studies.

As Patron of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, the Prince of Wales always takes a keen interest in the town and its activities and is very conscious of its special place in the cultural life not only of Wales but of the entire world.

The book you so kindly sent is a further reminder of the particular character of Llangollen and of the dedication of those people to sustain its community life.

Dr Graham Davies
Assistant Private Secretary to TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall

About The Authors

Photographer

Andrew Gale

Andrew is a professional photographer and film-maker based in Llangollen, but working nationwide. Having studied the Philosophy of Science at University College London, Andrew’s interests in the visual arts have always held a passionate mix of the medium’s technical and emotional sides.
His photographic portfolio includes a diverse array of commissioned commercial and portrait projects as well as personal fine-art landscape photography.
In the realm of film, Andrew directed the feature film Dark Waters, which was shot entirely in the Llangollen area as well as the popular local documentary Your Town, Your Story: Llangollen and has produced numerous music videos.
Andrew has found working on this project to be an immensely rewarding experience. Seeing this collection come together has been nothing less than miraculous, this could not have been achieved without Simon’s dedication and production skills.
